Very happy to announce: I am a presenter at Eurovox 2026 Lucerne.
As usual reframing some fundamentals of Voice from both the studio and the rationale perspective. This time on perceptions, a hot topic in voice and singing since basically always.

ABSTRACT Rethinking Isometric; How the Modern Biomechanics Findings on Coactivation Help in Defining Better Isometric Concept.
My abstract for the Voice Science – biomechanics – panel at PEVoC15 2024.
Isometric is a pillar in voice things, to nuance and define it better is crucial to find the options and tools for artistic or just communication voice. It is my every day work to find isometric in many not finding it no matter the quality of the training or the medical therapies. Here I am showing it into the more theoretical at the basis of my work and results.
It can be a workshop.
COPERTURA/ Covering of the sounds
COPERTURA/ COVERING
It is s fundamental action and concept, especially for male voices and tenors.
It has become in one way of it – in the last decades- a sort of one size fit all with very little nuancing so to show its limits.
It is the version of the hyperhyped tenor and vocal coach Luciano Pavarotti and Seth Riggs. They are well deserved hyperhiped, but it had taken away perspective and freshness in separating the stylistic or convenience of the choice from the necessary physiology for it.
Stylistic does not contain all the individual possibilities.
Convenient does not contain optimal.
If you want your style or you go for your optimal then copertura can be acquired and obtained by many more actions – just some in common with Pavarotti/Riggs way.
Three aspects of it to start nuancing the question
What brings a tear of joy
What brings a tear of joy to your eye?
The last has been the emergency sessions with a professional singer that I did not know previously – we made some of my special exercises after that she impaired her voice. Hearing her doing all the performances she had booked in Edinburgh and in Ireland moved tears in me. As it does seeing how longer students blossom, it still does – even after nearly 20 years of those constant results.
My craft and innovation in vocal technique are yes a contribution both theoretical and scientific but they start and have the deeper sense in the every day work with the singers. Singers are the centre of my craft and knowledge development. Seeing them perform and turn around problems or careers is the thing.
Enjoy her, me still with some happy tears today ☀️☀️
